Description

For the tire of sulky vehicle and for the manufacture of the technique of this tire
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of tire for sulky vehicle and for the manufacture of the technique of this tire.
Particularly, the present invention relates to a kind of tire for sulky vehicle that strengthens structure that is provided with, this enhancing structure applies strip component by the circumferential extension along ring-shaped bearing portion and obtains.Described in each strip component comprise be arranged to be parallel to each other and be coated with at least in part at least longitudinal enhancing linear element of one deck elastomeric material.
Background technology
Tire for wheel generally includes the carcass structure being mainly comprised of one or more casingply, this one or more casingply is configured as the configuration of general toroidal and makes the transverse edge of its axial opposed and corresponding ring-type strengthen structural engagement, and this ring-type strengthens structure and is combined with the annular metal embolus that is commonly referred to " bead core ".Each ring-type strengthens structure and is embedded in so-called " tyre bead " for the latter being anchored into corresponding installation wheel rim.
In the position of the radially outer of carcass structure, be applied with and comprise that one or more is the belt structure of the bracing ply of closed-loop form, this bracing ply mainly by relative to each other suitably orientation and with respect to the cord that belongs to adjacent casingply, suitably fabric or the metal cords of orientation form.
In the position of the radially outer of belt structure, be also applied with conventionally the tread strip that the elastomeric material bar by suitable thickness forms.Be noted that the object for this specification sheets, term " elastomeric material " means a kind of compound that comprises at least one elastomer polymer and at least one enhancing weighting material.Preferably, this compound also comprises additive, for example crosslinking agent and/or plasticizer.Due to the existence of crosslinking agent, this material can be cross-linked by heating, thereby forms final manufacture article.
Opposition side at tire is applied with pair of sidewall, and each sidewall covers a sidepiece between the so-called shoulder zone of being included in of tire and corresponding tyre bead, and this so-called shoulder zone is positioned near the corresponding transverse edge of tread strip.
Recently, concerned is especially the research to the production method of crude product in the middle of can manufacturing, and this production method is intended to eliminate or limit the use of at least in part tire building.For example, in same Applicant European patent EP 09288680 under one's name, a kind of method of manufacturing tire is disclosed, wherein casingply and each bracing ply are to obtain by lay successively a plurality of strip components with circumferential close relation in ring-shaped bearing portion, and this ring-shaped bearing portion is configured as with the interior configuration of the tire that will obtain mates.
In same Applicant document WO01/38077 under one's name, disclose by laying the strip component cut to manufacture the another kind of method and apparatus for the bracing ply of vehicle tyre from continuous strip component.At length, the circumferential extension along ring-shaped bearing portion applies the strip component of cutting open and can between a strip component and the next strip component of laying, not leave interval with mutual close relation.Aforementioned applications allows to obtain at least one enhancement layer, and this at least one enhancement layer has around the continuous circumferential extension of how much rotation axiss of ring-shaped bearing portion.In this application process, around roughly radially determining that in the axis correction of how much rotation axiss of ring-shaped bearing portion the relative angle between strip component and ring-shaped bearing portion rotates, near with the end of avoiding strip component tire shoulder overlapping.When the tire with for four wheeler contrasts, for the tire of sulky vehicle, need to provide very unique performance, this relates to many textural differences.A most important difference comes from the following fact: when sulky vehicle travels on bend, in contrast to it in straight line distance is up while sailing attitude, it must laterally tilt to great degree, thereby forms and can reach 45 ° or under difficult operating condition, be even the angle (being called camber angle) of 65 ° with the vertical line on ground.Therefore,, when sulky vehicle is when the bend, the contact area of tire moves to the axial outermost regions bend center position gradually from the central area of tyre surface.Due to this reason, for the tire of sulky vehicle, be characterised in that its obvious cross curvature.This cross curvature is normally defined the paricular value of ratio, this ratio be the radially exterior point between tyre surface measured on the equatorial plane of tire with the line of side direction phase opposing pole through tyre surface self between the ratio of the distance measured for the tire string of a musical instrument along between described limit of distance.
Compare with 0.05 the curvature ratio of being typically about in four wheeler tire situation, at the tire for sulky vehicle, curvature ratio is generally at least up to 0.15 and in rear tire situation normally about 0.3 or even higher, until in front tyre situation about 0.45.
In addition, at the tire for sulky vehicle, the continuous cord that belt structure can be wound in axially close coil by one or more forms, and these coils are roughly parallel to the circumferential bearing of trend (so-called " nullity belt bundle ") of tire.
Alternatively, belt structure can comprise two radially superimposed layers, each layer comprises the elastomeric material strengthening with the cord of being arranged to be parallel to each other, described layer is arranged so that the cord of the first bracing ply is oriented the equatorial plane that favours tire, the cord of the second bracing ply has same tilted alignment simultaneously, but intersects symmetrically (so-called " cross band bundle ") with respect to the cord of ground floor.
The angle of orientation of the cord of each layer is very important for some feature obtaining in tire.For example, the lower value at this angle on tire shoulder and crown (being tending towards 0 °), corresponding to the high stability in straight line distance but poor lateral thrust.
On the contrary, the high value at the described angle on tire shoulder and crown, corresponding to higher driving comfort but the turning stability reducing.
Applicant recognizes, at the tire for sulky vehicle, the strip component of laying for the manufacture of so-called cross band bundle according to the instruction of prior art is difficult to carry out; In fact, overlapping for fear of the end of strip component at tire shoulder place, the higher curvature of these tires relates to angularity correction in the cards hardly.
Applicant also has been noted that tiremaker must be set to cord on crown and with given angle cord is set on tire shoulder and is selected between the two in the angle with given according to the instruction of application WO01/38077.In other words, tiremaker can not at random be selected the best angle of cord on tire shoulder and crown, and this best angle is the function that tiremaker is desirably in the feature obtaining in tire.
In this case, in fact, the angle of the cord on crown depends on the curvature of profiled outline of angle on tire shoulder, tire and primary for avoiding the end of described strip component in the overlapping angularity correction applying at tire shoulder place.
Applicant has been found that now in order to manufacture bracing ply, if lay the strip component of integral value N, N is less than integral value N 0, N 0be each strip component under the line the ply angle at face place, the transverse width L of strip component and bracing ply at the circumferential extension S at the equatorial plane place of tire cfunction, can obtain so the angle of the pre-selected of the cord on tire shoulder and crown.Like this, the cord angle on tire shoulder and crown will be no longer the curvature of tire and for avoiding the function of the overlapping angularity correction applying of band bundle end, but the function of the expected performance of tire.
Applicant also has been found that if the laying interval between two adjacent strip components is on purpose controlled, and so also can obtain and in the end of strip component, there is no overlapping bracing ply and obtain thus the band bundle with higher structural homogeneity.
